TRANS DAPT motor mounts SUCK
TRANS DAPT motor mounts SUCK bought the trans dapt plates to bolt to the ls1 that positions your motor in the stock location of the small block, and even allows you to use a regular chevy 3 bolt flange.
the tranny doesnt reach the crossmember, i had to elongate all the holes in the plate, JUST to get it to fit on the block.
now the drivers side mount doesnt line up because of the added thickness of the pads bolted to the block.
they are 1/2 plates. times that by 2 and the drivers side mount wont fall into place. guess what? its 1" off.
thickness of the plates owns me.
just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and is there an alternative?
thanks

the TD mounts had all the fasteners included as well.
ive seen the S&P mounts, and they are an exact version of the TD mounts, just 2x the price. i guess if they work, its worth the extra money, LOL.
